26 degrees in Ol' Blighty?!? Are you sure that's not Fahrenheit?
You'll be catching up to Texas' 32.2222222C. (that's what the temperature converter tells me) soon.
As for the price of petrol, we're now paying $3.55 for the diminutive US gallon (I thought I saw Dick bin Turpin behind the cash register the other day.) with warnings of $4.00/gal prices to come this summer. The display at the pump should be changed from "Please pay" to "Stand and deliver!"
Believe it or not, we were sitting around the break table the other day and the subject of Metrification came up, after the obligatory talk of women, football, hockey (my choice), and oil prices were dispensed with, of course. To my surprise, the consensus was that it is high time for America to convert. To my knowledge, the U.S. is the last Imperial hold-out, other than the Sport of Kings. Somewhat ironic, no?
